Another SLAM DUNK! Bilt Hamber Surfex-hd Surfex HD

**DanaDetailingPros** · 01-07-2023, 01:14 AM

I heard so much press in the way of BH Touchless and Auto Foam I finally had to try it. I soon realized why!
Today I had the perfect interior to give the Surfex-HD a thorough once over. decided to use it on my cars interior. I’ve been using P&S Int. Express as my go to.
I diluted 1.25 oz to 32 oz in a Tornador Jar. I do want to mention something to be very cautious about. This stuff doesn't fool around! It's HIGHLY DILUTED!!! They advise 10-1 exterior and 50-1 interior. I first mixed it on the stronger side and noticed it left some drip discoloring. Luckily I noticed it right away and doubled the dilution. My car has never been as neglected and filthy since I turned it into my dogs Uber in the rear. He pretty much goes everywhere with me. Had to keep him tied up the whole time just to keep him from jumping in!
Now the honest truth about good old BH. It was unlike any APC or interior cleaner I have ever used. I wasn’t at all expecting it to actually change the way I have ever cleaned car interiors for the last 30+ years.
I have never used anything on interior that reacts quite like this stuff did. I would best describe it like the way an IPA works at removing glue residue off of glass. Or baby oil on tar. It just dissolved everything in it’s path!
I had areas on the leather similar to dried sap. I just hit it with the gun and it just dissolved. Just a follow up wipe and done. Same went with the carpet! It was pure bliss!
The smell was very similar to there Touchless and I actually like it. Not your normal sweet smell but a very unique clean and sterile smell. Almost similar to a baby oil in some way.
Interiors has never been my strong suit nor my favorite part of detailing. But after I was finished with the rear I felt that I have never taken on such a pig pen and had is so easy! I literally put zero elbow grease into it, other than to wipe down and dress.
Best way I can describe is, a Touchless for interiors
I truly hope if you every try it out you will feel the same way

I had just walked in and was so geeked on what I had just tried. I was a little zealous and to tired to write. Thanks for the heads up

Koch Chemie Polstar looks like a real gem for interiors and their greenstar has great value too. I have greenstar it has a very mild smell and at 1:10 cleans really well.

Pol Star is a great leather cleaner too.

Funny you mention that. I was just looking at it tonight after someone asked about it. But seriously Noorth it's game over for me. This BH Surfex had me really thinking of all the time and energy I saved! I went to there website after trying to see if there was anything else I can try.lol

Couple of things....first...good lookin' pooch there. Second....agree with you totally about Surfex HD. I had been an OPC user for years, but this stuff changed that. I looked over what I'd bought this year for detailing, and went through a gallon of OPC in less than a year. Not only is Surfex strong and versatile, it is also a great value.
